Description
The Free Speech Wars: How Did We Get Here and Why Does it Matter? This book explores the contemporary free speech wars, examining how this issue has become increasingly charged. It brings together a diverse group of commentators, activists, and academics to discuss the spaces and structures that shape the debate around free speech. The contributors consider two key battlefields in the free speech wars: the university campus and the internet. They examine how acts such as censorship, boycotts, and protests around free speech developed historically and how these histories inform the present. The book also explores the opposing sides in this debate, including the ways in which free speech has been curbed and controlled, and how it has been weaponised by those wishing to commit harm. By considering multiple perspectives and challenging the way that the topic is framed in the media today, this book offers context, provocation, and stimulation for readers seeking to understand the complexities of the free speech wars.
